The news of Bashar al-Assad's likely death revolved around the world, enthralling the bakers of "democracy and human rights". The same who, 2 years ago, unreflexedly posted their profile photos with Ukrainian flags, present are arrogant to celebrate the end of the "bad dictator". Of which they had not heard before yesterday and of which they knew nothing.
Even if Asad survived after all, Syria had already fallen. Prime Minister Muhammad Ghazi al-Jalali declared his willingness to cooperate with “any leader elected by the nation”. These anonymous leaders will be at best militants, and at worst terrorists from extremist muslim groups. This is what America, Israel and Turkey have set on, which have an interest in destabilising the region.
Asad Syria was a relic of the past, a surviving fossil. In a region plagued by fanaticism and despotism, she attempted to keep to any degree the principles of republicanism, secularism and the regulation of law. Under the strong, and what is it about to hide the autocratic regulation of the Asads, for half a century, it has resisted history. Rejecting on 1 side the spiritual darkness of the dark on the other, impertinent the will of conventional clans.
The defeat of Syria's Asads is simply a triumph for radicals and criminals. Millions of refugees will shortly follow Europe. People accustomed to freedom of conscience and religion who will not accept spiritual oppression, inherent in fanatic governments. The autocratic but tolerant and comparatively law-abiding regulation of Bashsar al-Assad will replace anarchy in the first phase, and the regulation of 1 of the rebel groups in the second phase. The most serious candidates to take power present are the jihadist Front Al-Nusra and do not miss the Jihadist muslim State (ISIS). It's not hard to imagine what they're going to look like.
This decline is left to us by the outgoing American administration. Even in the last days of his rule, the leftist political leadership of the United States has consistently set the planet on fire. We'll pay more or little for this. But Syria is waiting for the most terrible dimension.
Not for nothing, Shakespeare warned: “Woe to inferior beings erstwhile they enter between the blades of powerful swordsmen.”
